A couple of side questions.

I'm curious what your idling amps are with each stage of the rpc fired up. Not starting amps, just the idling amps. The amps to incoming single phase L1 and L2.

As...

In my previous post pics, what I had labeled utility, I was just simplifying for single phase service. I have a single phase service panel in the shop, with a 40 or 50 amp breaker for my current rpc....

Im guessing, but was thinking two possibilities on why drilled that way. One, a smaller opening would prevent chips falling directly on screw if I was clumsy oiling. Two, maybe to not create a...

Had to look up your first thread to see if it was a double tumbler or not. I think this is what you want, but can't tell from the pics entirely:

South Bend 16" Lathe Dual Tumbler Quick Change Gear...

Preface: My basic electric skills are decent/ok. I can do hook ups, change motor voltages, install service panels etc. And I know what volts and amps mean, and run checks. Figuring what or how much...

I have a 1942 South Bend 2H turret lathe. The design of your tool post is very similar. Not sure if South Bend made their own or not, but fairly sure mine was original to the machine.

Note the 4th...

I had a brief discussion with you in another section a while back about using multiple idlers. I had been meaning to pick your brain and others about it more. Dave Kamp has a lot of threads, and in a...

I wish I was that smart, I'm just lucky to have it stamped "oil". :D

To show you how smart I am, I dropped my flat head screw into the chip pan, more precisely, somewhere in the chips in the chip...

Usually if a two voltage capable motor was rewired for a single voltage, they might change the tag. Doesn't mean it was re-wired for either high or low exclusive, but possible.

If that motor...

I'm working right now, but when i get back I'll post some pics of the 16 pieces. Might give you some ideas.

On a 16 that vertical oil hole is not cleanly drilled if i recall. It just pierces two...

Regardless your intention for the thread, I learned something, well worth it !

It seems that side pin is what locks CF nut to compound. A 16" uses a different method, where a hollow bolt is...

I don't know 9's at all, and in looking at some parts and pieces previous, I think they do some things different than a 16".

I'm asking because you said adjustment screw, and that could be correct...

I see re-assembled, but curious if its mounted to carriage again. The top surface that mates to carriage has an open hole that feed oil into carriage. And inside of carriage there is a tree of meter...

I currently use a 7.5hp rpc, both motor and control box are 7.5. Idling, no load, I have 8.7 amps per leg on my two single phase legs that power the rpc.

I found a post from 2006 where a fella...

Any thoughts on a 20hp idler with a 15hp control box ? Motor is 1200 rpm. Thinking I'll use a pony motor to spin it up to speed before hitting rpc start button.

Once started, any problem starting...

I was curious if something is wrong with yours, or is it missing, and you just have the pic ?

There are no felts inside the gits. There is no containment of oil either. Once initial oiling is done, all oil will drip out. "Total loss oil system" :D. Everyone's is a little bit of a mess. To...

Those should be pretty clear which is large vs small side. Any mushrooming would be minor. I'd use calipers to figure which if it looks close.

Not impossible they might be stuck. But I've had good...

Pretty surprised at how high a lot of stuff went for.

I didn't bid on the mill, last I saw it was just over $500.

I did bid on the dividing head and the lot of K & T tooling from the first...

The first thing to watch out for is the awesomeness ! :D

You want to do obvious normal machine checks/inspection.

Nice option besides taper attachment, would be lead screw reverse.

If you...

They do want people to have an appointment. They are way behind on showing people with appointment, may not finish them today.

For those that can't see today, they will try to squeeze them in...

Really pretty irritating. Carefully looking over list of lots I got quotes on. . . It appears rates vary depending on what they think value will be, or hot selling items. While some hard selling...

You are correct. I missed that detail.

If you pull gear off left end of head stock side. The gear thats usually keyed onto a shaft of qcgb. Not looking at a pic, but at end of banjo, that gear...

In his album link, there is a a vid of the leadscrew. It does appear bent. I've not tried straightening one, not sure about that, or might replace leadscrew.

However, if I was just writing it off,...

I've unbolted mine, but bumped it with the nut on end of threaded rod. With collet tray as part of bed clamp I didn't want to leave it off bed. But I hadn't moved it to far edge of bed either. Now I...
